The Colorado Road.

The BAZOo representative yester-
day met a well-knOwn 81. Louisan
who is well posted in regard TO rail-
road matters in the west and after
considerable persuasion and a prom
Use to withhold his identity, gained
permission to publish his opinion in
regard to the Colorado road.
"You know" said the gentleman,
"that railroad building has become a
matter of as much secrecy as The
movemeu: of r ops in time of war,
and it is 'nsidrred downright treason
for any one cnnnected with a railroad
to divulge Its pans or proceedings.
This may look foolish to the unini-
tiated, but to those who understand
the jealousy and competition that al
ways attends and hampers the I'M
dertaking of new enterprises in this
line the reason for it is not only plain
but satisfactory. While | am not
directly connected with this enter
prise yet | am in a position to know
something about it, and / can say to
Sedalia's people that they have no
good reason fer Encouragement in
regard to securing the Colorado road,
provided they are willing to tender
the necessary additional cost Of its
by that route. The pro-
files of the different routes were yes
terday submitted to the board and
they will at once proceed TO act upon |
them and make the estimates of each |!
route, after which they will be pre-
pared to act intelligently and say ex-
actly what they can do"
"I presume you saw the statement /
Of the ST. Louis Republican to the
effect that the building of the
Sibley route had been postponed and
that the company would turn its at
Iention for the present exclusively to
4 southwest line?"
"Oh yes, but it is about as reliable
rs newspaper reports generally are,
which ought to be plain enough when
it is remembered that the surveys of
that line have never yet been COM
pleted, and the main attention of the
has been turned to the other
route, for which they have just COM
pleted their surveys. The Republi-
IAN itself gives proof Of that in Its re-
verse statement this morning. The
simple facts are that the company
Dretiies show nearer route by
Tx miles via of Sedalia to Sibley than
,y any other line, but the
grading and consequence cost
If construction will be much heavier ;
han by longer route, the road when
however, would be much
,etter by this route as well as shorter
md it is easy to see how the increase

lpon it that an offer or propositin will
n due time reach her through her
,oard of trade. who are well thought
f by the officials of the road and who {
AVE allowed no grass to grow under
heir feet in pushing your city's
laims. Another strong reason in
,edalia's favor is that the commercial
nen of ST. Louis have a strong liking
or Sedalia and are anxious to see her
ecure this additional connection with
hem. They regard Sedalia as prop
ly their patron, and in their state,
nd realize that she is an important
actor in Missouri trade and industry.
This is about all | care to say now.

TRIPPED BY THE CIPHER.
A Curious Story of How Prussia was
Checkmated in the East.

The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Times says that the following "gives
an absolutely authentic account of an
unknown episode of the Turko- Russian
war :"
'To understand the violent disappoint-
ment of the Russians after the Congress of
Berlin one must know the following Incl
dent which shows that Russia thought
at the end of the war that she was abso-
lutte mistress of the Turks and of Euro
pean Turkey. Count Schouvaloff, then
Russian ambassador in London, repeat
edly telegraphed to the Russians to enter
Constantinople, affirming that England
would not raise finger against the oc-
cupation of Constantinople, on condition
that Gallipoli should not be occupied,
and that no attempt to blockade the Eng
lish fleet should be tried.
Accordingly telegram was sent from
St. Petersburg to San Stefano and to
General Ignatieff, ordering the COM
manders to enter Constantinople, and to
occupy it at any cost. This telegram in
cipher passed through Turkish territory,
and before being transmitted to San
Stefano came under the eyes of the
Turks. An attempt was made to dis
cover tne cipher, UuI ILLS GIIdl SuCCeeueu
only partially. Nevertheless, the Turks
understood that the occupation of Con-
stantinople was ordered by the Gar.
To gain time, they mingled the ciphers
of the Russian dispatch in such fashion
that it became absolutely unintelligible,
and under this form transmitted it to
San Stefano. There General Ignatieff
vainly tried to discover the sense of the
order, and after two days hard working
asked for an explanation.
Meanwhile Musurus Pasha was Or
dered to inform the British cabinet of
the designs of Russia, and to ask the
help of Great Britain. The English cab
met was summoned in haste to meet
ing, and an order was given to Lord A.
Lotus at ST. Petersburg to see the Car,
and to inform him or his chancellor that
an occupation of Constantinople by the
Russians would be considered by Eng
land as casus 6elzs, and that he, Lord A.
Lotus, would have in this case to ask
for his passports. The Gar then changed
his mind, and when General Ignatleff 8 !

draw the sum necessary to pay the rent and,
passing in, after tedious wait for the doors
to open, he saw the little savings that
stood between him and dire distress shrink
into still more alarming lnslgnlticance.
He left the bank with heavy heart, and,
fearful lest he might again become the vic.

The poor little man was utterly con-

feeling of horror came over him as he felt
that he must publicly disavow his intention
and explain that he only wanted to arrest
the attention of well-dressed gentleman
whom he suspected of being thief. He
stammered out: "My name is Bostwick!'

advance he felt that it would be merciful
dispensation to be permitted to sink

But this last misfortune seemed too much

For brief space he wavered between tears

then, at last, his manhood asserteditself and

Itreally was too bad. For score of long
